How come none of the outrigger canoe manufacterers are supporting Keizoswebsite by advertizing here? LL Bean has an ad and they dont even sell what we paddle.
Keizo is doing a huge service to the outrigger canoe paddling community with this website. I think it would be a good thing to support him and his efforts to promote our sport , don`t you?

I think all the boatbuilders/sellers should pitch in and buy Keizo a house in Kahala, one of those really big beach lots, and have Girraffes and other exotic creatures roaming the grounds freely!

Once you realize Keizo isn't even advertising his own boat building, you understand how huge his service is for our community. Now that's what I call being neutral and staying credible.
Fuzerider you are the the latest rep to push a product on this site.
How's that working out so far?
Also I had no idea chines can be smoked. Where can I grow some?

Fuze,
Perhaps using Goggle Adwords - https://adwords.google.com
(they display in the right hand column on this site) is a better solution than dancing the line between being a regular contributor to discussions - (you are, and I appreciate it) and subtley getting your product in front of folks
it's inexpensive, targets whatever audience you want about wahtever product you want to whatever website you want ( do you have one?) and keeps you in Poops and Paintuer's good books"
just think, you could have your company where LL Bean's annoying ad is..
if folks are interested, they click through the link, Google gets paid, you get interested customers, and Keizo even gets a few pennies for the trouble!
everyone's happy. hope that helps....

..."subtley getting your product in front of folks.."?
Then I guess I saw a video once where LA cops "subtley" beat Rodney King with nightsticks.

I guess I need to advertise that people can advertise. http://www.ocpaddler.com/advertise

He is almost my hero too, but Luke still wins that race by a nose... seriously, have you seen that beak?

Here comes the beak straight at you.

"I guess I need to advertise that people can advertise. "
Keizo.....thats an understatement. Ive tried the google adwords a couple times and I get f'd up every time. If there is any way you can simplify the process it would be helpful to you as well as others.

one way to help is to click through on the ads on the right side.. since it is a no no to tell people to click the ads- maybe you can click on the ads that "interest" you. just broaden your interest... and be interested a few times whenever you visit

aquafiend, I've updated the ad page with some steps to follow. Sorry, this is the best way to do it.

I'm very self-conscious about my beak. Now you just made it worse. Thanks a lot guys. I always tell myself it's just cause i have a skinny head.
